To build:

make

To use:

./konno lower_case_word

Try:

./try.sh

Judges’ remarks:

This tiny program outputs what looks like a tiny keyboard. OK, so the letters are missing. But that is no problem because this program identifies the lower case letters that were pressed!

It is one of those minimal keyboards without all of those confusing symbols keys. No shift for SHOUTING CAPS but at least it does not have that useless CAPS LOCK key!

We recommend that you completely deconstruct / figure out how this program works and does what it does. Can you extend this program to deal with a full QWERTY keyboard? Can you then minimize the size of that code?

Author’s remarks:

Limitation

This program ignores non-lower case letters.

Obfuscation

• for is not used.
• A part of the program is encrypted.
